About Me
Born in Hyderabad, India and raised in Chicago, IL, I have gone through many impediments learning how to fit into different communities. Each obstacle, however, has made in stronger and more adaptable to different scenarios in everyday life. Being a first generation immigrant and college student in America, I have learned the importance of education and determination through the struggles my family went through to give me a better opportunity in this country.
My Mission
I aspire to make a difference in the healthcare industry of impoverished regions of the world. I have a passion for helping people and I believe in loving what you do as a career. Therefore, pursuing healthcare administration is my ultimate vision and goal.
I want to develop a personal brand that I can be proud of. I aspire to work diligently to establish a network of people who I can work with to help me get where I want to be. I believe education and continuous learning is also substantial to success, so I will also work to continue to expand my knowledge and skill set in the field I want to go into.
